SPAM Protection

Definition (from www.mxes.org)

spam
Spam is e-mail sent indiscriminately to a large number of recipients, usually promoting a product or service. As e-mail costs close to nothing to send, many people have taken this as an invitation to send as much as they can to as many people as they can find. Spam in this sense is sort of like the electronic equivalent of junk mail sent to "Occupant", except that the recipient pays the vast majority of the cost receiving the unwanted mail.

spammer
One who sends spam. In the 1990s, with the rise in commercial awareness of the net, spammers began offering bulk e-mail services to companies wishing to advertise. They pay little or nothing to send each message..., even a few sales per million messages sent are profitable for the spammer, offering them economic incentive to continue.

SPAM email is no longer an annoyance – it represents a significant cost in terms of productivity, bandwidth, server utilization and disk storage - SPAM email is also becoming the new vehicle for virus propagation and identity theft.

The ability to control SPAM email is a critical and fundamental component of network security. It takes a great deal of time to manage mailboxes individually. This represents a huge amount of lost productivity. PDT Networks, Inc. in conjunction with Messaging Architects is pleased to announce a new anti-spam/anti-virus subscription service.

PDT Networks, Inc. utilizes Messaging Architects GWGuardian Enterprise. GWGuardian protects email systems from spam and related spammer threats. GWGuardian combines multi-layered anti-spam technology and unbeatable anti-virus security that is powered by McAfee. GWGuardian is compatible with any mail server, including Novell GroupWise 5.5-6.x, and Microsoft Exchange.

Whether you are running GroupWise, Exchange, or another e-mail server or system, our new Guardian subscription service is able to eliminate most of you SPAM messages and eliminate virus messages prior to reaching your mailbox. With GWGuardian we can also temporary store and then forward your email in the event your email server is unavailable.*

With GWGuardian your email system will only have to handle legitimate emails. You will no longer waste resources (computing or human) cleaning up those unwanted emails.

Our GWGuardian service is a managed service where the anti-virus patterns get updated every 15 minutes and anti-spam patterns are updated every 6 hours. Let us do the work for you and help you manage this expanding threat.
